Fast and Furious 6 reaction post
In case the title of this post is not enough of a hint: EXPECT THIS POST TO BE MOSTLY INCOHERENT SCREAMING.
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS FILM SERIES SO MUCH I COULD CRYYYYYY.
AND F&F3 FINALLY HAS A FIXED PLACE IN CONTINUITY! I AM PROBABLY MORE GLAD ABOUT THAT THAT I SHOULD BE. NOT THAT I WANT THREE TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE NOOOOO, HAAAAAN, BB ;____;, BUT AT LEAST NOW IT ISN'T JUST SITTING THERE LOOMING OMINOUSLY. AND BEING IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN TO F&F NEWBIES.
I don't know how and when I ended up so on board with Han/Gisele BUT THEIR GOD DAMN FUCKING TRAGIC LOVE STORY I CAN'T. I realised when they were talking about settling down in Tokyo that the only way things could really be canon compliant is if Gisele were to die (...or fall out of love with Han BUT THAT WAS NEVER AN OPTION SHUT UP) and then she did in the most FUCKING TRAGIC MOMENT. And now I kind of want to rewatch Tokyo Drift and read AN MILLION TRAGIC FEELS into it. Despite the fact the hillaribad of it might distract me from serious emotion. Whatever. HAN/GISELE 4 EVA.
Although naturally Mia/Brian+Brian/Dom remains my OT3 of the series and no other pairing will ever compete for its one true place. Although maybe I could get on board with Mia/Brian+Brian/Dom+Dom/Letty. Mia/Letty can come too. I'LL BE OVER HERE WITH MY POLYSHIPPING. (...BRB, SEDORETU TIME.)
And seriously, this film was a shippy free for all. Rome/Tej was the most in your face obvious ship that I have not already mentioned. But Rome/Brian got a couple of moments. And Rome/Han for that matter. And it's not like Elena/Dom/Letty is much of a stretch. AND OH MY GOD WHO WOULD TURN DOWN MORALLY AMBIGUOUS LETTY/RILEY??? Also Hobbs made eye contact so intense as to be indistinguishable from sexual tension with ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE. Possibly also everything. HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE THESE FILMS BECAUSE SRSLY.
I have been more or less ignoring everything F&F related so as not to be too excited so I did not know Gina Carano was going to be bringing her excellent face and delightful badassery to this film, nor did I know that half of it was set in London, so those were THE MOST DELIGHTFUL OF SURPRISES.
Also, fun fact about me, I have never been that into Letty? And then in this film I was like "WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU LOOK AT HOW THE BEST SHE IS". I don't know how I ever missed it. I LOVE HER. And her ridiculously sexy voice is an excellent match for Dom's ridiculously sexy voice. Together, they seduce everyone! And/or fight crime. And/or commit crime. I AM ON BOARD WITH ANY OF THIS.
(Although as much as I am suddenly in love with Dom/Letty, I still had to stifle a laugh (ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE REST OF THE CINEMA) at his dramatic mid-air rugby tackle rescue of her. Possibly the most ridiculous thing that has yet happened in any F&F film?)
I really need to give this entire series a rewatch. I had forgotten enough that the plot point reminders were EXTREMELY NECCESSARY. (AND JFC THIS SERIES HAS SO MANY CHARACTERS I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHERE AND WHEN EXACTLY MOST OF THEM WERE INTRODUCED). Plus I can now finally watch Tokyo Drift in its correct chronological position! AND THEN CRY. (I think last time I watched Tokyo Drift was before F&F4 had even come out, and I have SO MANY MORE HAN FEELS NOW THAN I DID THEN.)
I was filled with SO MANY FUCKING EMOTIONS when we saw Dom's house at the end. I didn't even know I remembered what it looked like BUT I DID AND IT LOOKED LIKE HOME. ;__; (...although it made me sad about Jesse and even Vince all over again. I LOVE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE GATHERED MORE FAMILY, BUT YOU HAVE LOST SO MUCH FAMILY TOO. *clings to everyone*) (*especially Han oh god*)
Guys, um. Um. Jason Statham? I am unreasonably excited by that? I don't even know why, I don't think I've watched a Jason Statham film since Snatch. But somehow I have always been charmed that he went on the become an international action hero? AND NOW HE IS IN MY STUPID AMERICAN CARS AND EXPLOSIONS FILMS? And then people will drive cars and punch each other. *___* MY DELIGHTS WILL BE ENDLESS.
To conclude: I remember when this show film franchise was about community college street racing.
P.S. MY GOODNESS THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A F&F FRANCHISE "LOOK AT ALL THESE AWESOME WOMEN BEING AWESOME" VID.
